FIA issues second SEF Tracker report

First Published 7th May 2014

Washington, D.C. - The Futures Industry
Association has published the second issue of FIA SEF Tracker, a
periodic report on trading activity taking place on swap
execution facilities.

This issue contains four additional weeks of data for the month
of April as well as two enhancements-a breakdown of
non-deliverable forwards trading by currency, and a breakdown of
credit default swaps trading between contracts subject to "made
available to trade" determinations and all other.

FIA will publish the SEF Tracker report on a monthly basis
initially but plans to publish it on a more frequent basis at a
later stage. The report contains statistics on the volume of
trading as well as charts showing volume trends over time. The
report is based on data collected directly from the SEFs via the
daily reports they make available to the public. The report also
includes data from trading venues that are offering the same or
similar products but have opted to register with the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission as designated contract markets rather
than as SEFs.

FIA developed this report to provide the public with a better
understanding of these new venues for the trading of
over-the-counter derivatives and looks forward to enhancing this
report over time. Anyone interested in obtaining the reports can
sign up through the FIA website at www.fia.org/sef-tracker.asp.
